Aspyr's Game Agent Will Check your Mac Hardware

Aspyr Media has released a new utility for Mac gamers called Game Agent. The software checks your Mac hardware for the system requirements of (Aspyr) Mac games.

Aspyr says the software will check OS version, RAM size, video card, and processor speed, and then, game by game, tells the user if the game "will run well," "will run" or "will not run" on the system being checked. Game agent also allows users to check the system requirements of games against default Apple configurations.

Other features:

Familiar interface gives fast, easy-to-read results

Lists minimum and recommended system requirements for each game  if your Mac will run a game but will perform better if you add more RAM, the application will tell you
